now hold your eyes still so that i can see.
that's good, now the other one. good boy.
now danny, when you were brushing your teeth, do you remember if you smelled anything funny, or saw any bright flashing lights, or anything at all strange?
do you remember when you were brushing your teeth?
what's the next thing you remember after you were brushing your teeth?
now danny, can you remember what you were doing just before you started brushing your teeth?
is tony one of your animals?
oh,
if you were to open your mouth now, could i see tony?
why not?
where does he go?
does tony ever tell you to do things?
okay. that's fine. all right danny.
now i'm going to ask you to do me a favor, and stay quietly in bed for the rest of the day. okay?
yes, i'd like you to.
goodbye.
yes.
thank you.
mrs. torrance, i don't think you have anything to worry about. i'm quite sure there is nothing physically wrong with danny.
oh i know. kids can scare you to death, but believe me these episodes are not at all uncommon, and they look much worse than they are.
mrs. torrance, most of the time these episodes with kids are never explained. they are brought on by emotional factors, and they rarely occur again.
they're more akin to auto-hypnosis, a kind of self induced trance. if it re-occurs which i doubt
you can always think about having some tests done.
no thank you.
have you been in boulder long, mrs. torrance?
did the appearance of danny's imaginary friend?
did tony's first appearance happen to coincide with your arrival here?
did he adjust well to school?
what sort of injury did he have?
how did he manage to do that?
